Yesterday I counted 15 cars, 7 of which had people just sitting in them the entire time I rigged up.
What are these people doing? There's always somebody there just sitting in their car. I thought maybe waiting for a flight to land?
BTW it was really good yesterday afternoon. ~20 knots and a really good angle. Dead onshore. I didn't realise a SE was that angle, and now I'm confused as to how I've never sailed one before. You could sail all the way to Doll's Point on one tack, and next time I will.
I'd say watching the elements, while staying warm... And the planes too, maybe... heaps of people seems to do that, at both car parks (even at Kurnell).
Yesterday was quite nice, and yeah, perfectly onshore, especially at the end. Good that the rain didn't stick. 
the most annoying is when in summer they leave the car and air conditioning on.
How is the chop in SE in Kyeemagh? I was at George's river and even in moderate wind it's very confused.
Honestly it was really reasonable. Pretty flat when we arrived at 1 (well, with all this rain the wind wasn't strong early on...), but even after it was 40 cm at best.
Felt easy, if jumping wasn't what you were looking for.

I was going to say the same thing. At Kurnell people pull up all the time and have lunch and watch the water. Its not a bad thing to do. Which is why I don't understand why Sutherland council has decided to build boat wash facilities with a view at Kurnell and make the people park on the other side without a view.
When I was learning to sail (well I still am but the first season) I spent a few weeks in winter learning at Kurnell. Initially it annoyed me the amount of people that would turn up and watch, but then I figured out its normal for people to pull up there, and hey, I was free entertainment.
Who knows... a couple of weeks back I sailed for 2 hours over powered on a 4.2. 5 people watched from the beach. When I packed up they also left ... without ever sailing. I guess some people are just too spoilt for conditions. 
I've always thought it was strange that windsurfers (with gear) sit in their car for ages. If it's really windy or big surf
I can appreciate watching someone out there to assess which board/sail to use.
.
This morning I went out at White Rock. Lucky to have the day off. No-one sailing. Really hard to pick wind strength
with all the rain. 5m, bigger board, 1-2m waves, planing whole time
Each to their own I guess.

It sounds like if you were sailing overpowered on a 4.2m, then just maybe no one had any tiny sails to use!
Some fellow water-man or women are fussy about the conditions l too have notice folk driving past stop & pause to check out whether its worth rigging.l believe if people are out & are getting going it is worth the trip.l remember once a old windsurfer told me the longer you sail over the yesrs you developed this additude .
I'm talking about non-sailors. Mostly guys sitting in their cars reading their smart phones, it seems.
Anyway it was really good on a SE (or was it actually ESE?). Chop was small. Runs were long. Wind was a really consistent 18-20 at first, and then picked up to 22-25.
Except for the sombre weather it was actually pretty epic. Wind, angle and chop were perfect. I was pleasantly surprised.
It was an ese on Sunday with gusts peaking to 28k after 5.30pm. I dithered initially & then took the opportunity to photograph my friend sailing before I rigged. Perfect direction for close up shots! No sailing off in to the sunset (runway)!
I had a great 40 mins after finally getting on the water at 5.30pm. Really powered up on a 5m and fantastic loooong runs. Only stopped when I felt a 6-7cm gap in the mast and didnt have enough time to rerig before having to head home. agggh!!
It is often worth hanging out for those early evening, pre sunset blasts.
Bring on the cold fronts! Love sailing southerlies, se etc
What really disturbed me was watching what appeared to be a Muslim cleric with a very large camera taking pictures of the planes & surroundings over the course of several days .

I'd be angry too, mate... Busting your ass being awesome windsurfing on severall days, and what? Not a single picture of you being taken... And these pilots and not event flying the thing, it's all computers nowadays... Life really isn't fair... 
I think its to send back photos to their friends to show them how good it is here. It has grass! Well, it used to be grass..
